February 28, 201214 yr Has anyone used this board? I know it's the dreaded Realtek 8111E but that seems to have been resolved in the latest betas... It has 6 SATA 6.0 ports!! Here is the newegg link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131758 Thanks!! Nate
February 28, 201214 yr From an unRAID perspective you gain mostly nothing from SATA III (6GB/s) ports. Unless you are going to be using SSD's no single mechanical spinning drive will exceed SATA I (1.5GB/s) speed.
February 28, 201214 yr Author Understood... Just building for the future. I like the fact it has 6 ports on board. If there is a cheaper board with 6 ports on board I am game!
